Secret Getaway: new platform puts extra thrill in discovering new places

With the launch of a unique accommodation booking platform, Secret Getaway, that only reveals the name of the hotel once the purchase has been made, spontaneous breaks have just become more exciting.

Members sign up, choose the area, the time frame they’d like to stay and the level of luxury they’d love to experience. Brand conscious hotels can retain their exclusive reputation by not publicly offering a discounted rate whilst members stand the chance of getting a one-of-kind, exclusive offer for some of the most iconic hotels in their city and surrounds.

Secret Getaway is designed for travellers who dream of jumping in their car and seeing where the road leads them. The adventure of the escape starts before they have even left their desk. The property selection on the website constantly updates and some properties release one room, others a full suite of offers. All secret hotels are carefully selected with TripAdvisor reviews over 80% positive.

Members get to experience being tourists in their own town with a luxury lottery where the odds are always in their favour. They are presented with accurate descriptions, room photos of the hotel and perhaps they can guess the Top Secret Property. The clues are there after all: the star grading, the surrounding neighborhood of the property, the room type, and the star grading are all clearly stated. It is just the name that is hidden until post-purchase.
